Summary
Sprinkling a vehicle with ruqyah water is permissible in Islamic law, as it is a form of ruqyah performed on property to prevent misfortune or the evil eye. The evil eye can affect possessions such as vehicles, and treatment with water is based on the hadith of Sahl bin Hunaif. However, the act should be avoided if it may cause fitnah in society, for example when it involves ritual elements resembling another religion or reflects weak belief in the practitioner. The method also brings no benefit to those who deny, mock or doubt it, and it is done alongside ordinary efforts such as regular vehicle servicing.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Merenjis air ruqyah pada kenderaan adalah diharuskan pada syarak kerana terdapat dalil yang jelas membenarkan perbuatan tersebut.
